If you’re looking for a reasonably priced gaming laptop with an RTX 4050 GPU, you’ve come to the right place. Right now, Lenovo’s LOQ 15IRH8 gaming laptop is on sale for just $849 at B&H, which is a savings of $460. In addition to the Nvidia GeForce 4050 GPU, it also has a spacious display with a 144Hz refresh rate. According to reviews on the B&H website, the display is bright and performance is fast. The hardware is pretty darn good for the price, too.
The Lenovo LOQ features an Intel Core i7-13700H CPU, the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce 4050 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. Given the specs, you should be able to play most games on the higher graphics settings. But for newer, faster-paced titles, we’d recommend scaling the graphics back a bit. The display also measures a roomy 15.6-inches with a resolution of 1920×1080 and an aspect ratio of 16:9.
This is a good amount of graphics power for under $1,000. Get it now.
